Roberts' Family Day on the Lake

At the end of August, Gary's whole family into town and spent the weekend with us. It was the first time we have ever all been able to get together just for fun! We usually just manage to get together when we are celebrating something (holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) and we are always rushed with our time. Not this time...they all came up simply to visit and spend the day on the lake! The kids had a blast, and so did the adults!

I would give anything to have a picture of all of 14 of us on the pontoon boat! At one point in the day, most everyone was at the back of the boat for some reason, and we realized the back of the boat was actually under water! We quicly realized that we would need to keep the weight fairly evenly distributed, and even then, the pontoons were almost completely under water. It was very comical! We spent the day grilling on the boat, Jet Skiing, skiing, tubing, and most of all... laughing!
I'm not sure if you would call these three the Three Muskateers or the the Three Stooges... but they sure are cute! (Molly, Mitch, Wyatt)

Gran'ma Judy and Papa Jack
Matt in his strategically placed seat (helping balance out the front end of the boat)
Wyatt, Gary, and Alex on the Jet Ski

Me, Lauri, and Tara - I am sooooo lucky to have two sisters-in-law that I love just like sisters!

Jack hanging out on the tube with Mitch and Jake. I'm sure he thought he would relax...but Jake and Mitch had another idea!

Molly "fishing" with the noodle

Jake in his cool shades!

Mitch and Wyatt in the tube

Jake, Wyatt, and Gary on the Jet Ski. Do you see the resemblance between Jake and Wyatt? I don't know if you can tell, but I think they have the same nose and the same face shape!

On Sunday, Gran'ma Judy, Papa Jack, Bill, Tara, and Molly all had to head back to Georgia. Lauri and Wyatt stayed for a while and spent another day on the lake. My favorite sunglasses didn't make it back from that trip. Gary was pulling me and Lauri on the tube, and he flipped up good! I was just glad I still had all my bathing suit! I really miss those glasses!

Mitch, Wyatt, and Jake eating. That's pretty much how Jake spent most of the day!
